Description

WebSharing Lite enables you to wirelessly transfer files to and from your phone or tablet using a web browser. You can view images, play videos, and manage files on your device using your WI-FI network.

* FREE, AD-FREE, AND UNCONSTRAINED: The Lite version of WebSharing is entirely free. There are no advertisements displayed, neither on your phone/tablet itself nor in your web browser. Drag-and-drop file upload is included. There are no file-size limitations in the free version. The full version adds more features, but the Lite version is intended to be very functional and useful by itself.

* FILE MANAGER: Use the file browser to upload and download content to and from your device. The file browser is a fully functional file manager, with the ability to move, copy, rename, and delete files and folders on the phone/tablet. DRAG-AND-DROP file upload lets you quickly upload files by simply dragging them into the browser. With Google Chrome, you can event drag-and-drop entire hierarchies of folders. Uploaded files are queued/uploaded sequentially, so you can be repeatedly drag files/folders into WebSharing without worry.

* IMAGE VIEWER: A built-in image viewer provides the ability to display large photos with pan and zoom capabilities.

* VIDEO PLAYER: Play videos stored on the phone directly within the browser. Videos may be downloaded or viewed directly using both HTML5 and Flash-based video players. The HTML5 player has streaming support, letting you quickly skip to a position inside large movies.

* PRIVACY AND PERFORMANCE: Your data never leaves your Wi-Fi network when you use WebSharing. It does not use the Internet / cloud to perform transfers. Your computer and phone/tablet will communicate directly and privately. And because your data doesn't go over the Internet, transfers happen at local network speed.

Network support: WebSharing is intended for use on Wi-Fi networks, but can work over cellular networks if your carrier allows direct access to phones/devices on their network. Most carriers do not allow cellular access.

Video format support: WebSharing can play videos using either an HTML5 or Flash-based video player. Video format support varies by browser and operating system. Most current browsers will play MP4 files using HTML5. The Flash player is capable of playing MP4, 3GPP, and FLV files.

This is the "LITE" version of WebSharing. If you'd like more features, you can upgrade to the paid version of WebSharing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.websharing.r1 The full version adds the following additional capabilities:

* A music player that enables you to stream music from your phone/tablet to your computer. Browse your entire music collection, or by artist, album, or playlist.* Browse photo and video galleries.* Access your device as a disk drive from your computer using WebDAV.* Enable a guest access account with customizable restrictions.

Excellent App! No ads, No silly limitations of size, No pro version, No hassels. Simple, easy to use and lightning speed fast transfers over wifi. A must have if you want to get rid of those USB cables for transferring files. PS :.Folders cannot be transfered. You need to select an individual file. Thought of giving a star less but i have used it so many times that i was reluctant to downgrade.. :)

The web interface freezes often, causing to lose progress since you have to abort whatever you wished to do. Wish it wouldn't be this unstable while uploading files on my phone.

Website error!! I think this app deserves 5 stars but there's a little problem in website. Every time i open the given http web page, what i see is a half web page and cann't even see the files/folders,status,etc so plz correct the error of webpage!! Otherwise nice app!

Awesome Great app. Easy to use, just follow the instructions. Saves having to connect to pc with cables. One small problem : doesn't appear to overwrite an old file of same name. You have to delete original before copying to Android

App hangs when transfering files &gt;300. Was happy with the app till i started uploading large size file 2 my sd card. It wil upload fast but then the app will hang n website error wil b displayed 2 restart the app. I have 2 force shut it & the file uploaded wil b of less size then the original file. Unstalling it.

I love this app, but ever since the most recent update I keep getting errors. I'll get halfway through a 2 gig transfer and then my connection "times out" and needs to be refreshed, which of course starts the transfer over. Also, there's no clean-up after a failure like this, so I hope I'm not slowly filling my drive with partially completed temp files. I don't know why the session times out so fast now, but I don't like this change. The device I'm transferring to is active, the device I'm transferring from is active, there should not be a time-out like this.

Paid and installed on Galaxy S4 works best Tried to install on nexus 7 had to go though passing process again, then app stopped working with an error. Have no idea of second payment and through now now possible to install full version again as it has gone from Google Play Services. Please can somebody help and if second payment has gone through and want supposed to please sorry that out. Help.

Not working on my new phone I still give 3 because this WAS one of my favorite app. But then I bought a new phone and I tried to use the app using the same wifi connection but I can see all my files but I can copy and paste any files. SAD. I also send a mail pls fix the error

DESERVES 5 STAR I normally don't rate apps but this is seriously awesome well done.if i were you i would had kept 3$ for 500+mb 10$ for 1gb+ but you guys habe kept all for free. Salute. With love a human currently from india :)

This apps deserved 5 stars.. but i get error : (Invalid response received from server: 400 etc...) when uploading files to my memory card.any help?thanks and God bless! Please developers take care of this problem..

Change of icon This app works perfectly but I have a gripe with the way the icon looks. It doesn't fit in with the other app icons. Can you please change it to something better? That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars

Awesome app Wanna transfer files using wifi..... go for this.... best thing is that the reciever does not require the app to be installed like so called 'software data cable'... must have .... speeds of 2-4 mbps...

Excellent! Removes the hassles of carrying a USB anytime you want to transfer. Earlier when I wanted to transfer files, I used to either save them as drafts in my email or start the searching the USB cable. Not anymore! thank you!

It does everything well but there's a problem The problem is that the files gets copied first to the internal memory and then to the SD card so if I have 300MB of free space on my internal memory and 8GB on my SD card and I wanna put a 400MB file on my SD card, I just can't. That's probably the only thing that needs some serious fixing in this app.. Please developers take care of this problem and I'll give you 5 stars :)

It deserveeserver 5 star rating This is a app for wifi. We all have dream to get best from wifi connectivity. THIS IS AN APP WHERE I HOPE, YOU CAN SEE YOU ARE VERY CLOSER OF YOUR DREAM OF GET PROPER AND GOOD USE OF WIFI!!!!!

Not as expected This is nice as it transfers data faster than bluetooth, but it doesn't transfer at speed it shows on mobile. It takes around 10 mins to transfer 1gb of data. It comes to around 1.5mbps where as it shows 18 to 20mbps on mobile in app while transfer :-(

Could use an update Works as advertised, and in a reliable, consistent manner. The web interface allows one to navigate the file system, and manipulate files and folders. The app hasn't been updated in a long time, however, and could attend a visual update.
